I need help in suspending users from Canvas for clean-up purposes. How do I bulk delete users that are no longer being used? Thank you
Hi @BISADMINLMS2023
If your users were created using the SIS Import tool, you can upload a list of users with a status of "deleted" as a CSV file in order to mark them as a deleted and no longer available on the system. The file format for user files (with an explanation of all the fields) is at https://canvas.instructure.com/doc/api/file.sis_csv.html
Hi @BISADMINLMS2023 , thank you for your query.if you're looking for users not to be able to access Canvas BUT still want to leave enrollment information and analytical data in Canvas, I'd suggest updating the user status to suspended. You can also manually do this from the Canvas UIIf you're looking for users who cannot access Canvas AND don't want any information in the Canvas UI, I suggest updating the user status to "deleted". You can also manually do this from the Canvas UI*note: You can only bring back deleted users via the CSV import method so ensure all users have a sis_id before deletion.

It is very hard to navigate all my assignments (even if Canvas orders them from Oldest to Newest etc.) especially when you have…
I've gotten this email approximately 9000 times in the last two days and it is completely useless. We have a "Program Commons" Canvas shell where we store the worksheets and other documents shared between many classes in the same program. Every course homepage has a "Get Started Here" section with an ordered list, where…
Hello! A caution to my fellow Admins and support folks that Instructure updated their live-chat link (the one in the "(?) Help" menu, if you license their Support Chat service) fairly recently, but the old broken one is still online and appears as if it still functions. If someone hits the old link, after entering their…
We are in the middle of add/drop, where students are changing classes regularly as they find the right fit for them. I have been using SIS Import to quickly update class rosters, but a downside is that teachers do not receive a notification when their rosters are updated. Is there a way to alert teachers that a new student…
Hi, I'm reading that Amazon is blocking Meta's Muse from making purchases there. Could Instructure have Canvas instances block AI agents similarly - or, leave institutions with the ability to choose to block, etc. etc.? Limiting access tokens is great and all, but we're pretty sure all these web browsers with AI enabled,…
